CardScan Executive v8 Card Scanner Reviews
It's a real bargain if you deal with business cards, survey cards, inventory, etc. This gizmo works great. It gets a little confused on the OCR especially with hand written stuff. We scanned about 300 cards and had less than 20 that were any kind of problem.
It is small and easy to pack (I travel a lot) and reads the cards with out error. The interface is very intuitive and easy to learn. The price was a little higher than the ones I have purchased in the past, but in this case it is true, you get what you pay for. I highly recommend this device and will recommend it to everyone. I have had other card readers in the past (I usually bought the cheapest one I could find), but when my second card scanner bit the dust, a friend recommended the CardScan.
I look forward to working with this more and discovering other productivity benefits in future. I am yet to use all the features, but I managed to load, edit and verify about 200 cards in about 3 hours time. The set up is a breeze and the performance is good. All in all, I am very happy with the integration with MS Outlook and the fact that I don't have to key in all the contact details laboriously myself. I bought the product based on reviews already with Amazon. I am not disappointed. There were some hitches in recognizing the letters in a smaller font.
Software is not perfect but much much smarter than the IRIS with regard to the accuracy of OCR capability. Scan speed is faster and sequential read process is very efficient. Editing is much easier than IRIS. I used IRIS CardPro on Win XP but I upgraded to Vista Business and thus had to use CardPro on Virtual PC or buy a new card management software/scanner. 6 stars. I have to say that this produuct is working much better than I thought. Verification process of the read card information is intuitive.
However, I was not satisfied with the IRIS product and bought this one. I have not encountered any issues yet and I cannot confirm the quality of their support, but I feel that the product quality and the added value to my business are more than offsetting any (including possible) downside. As I already have a file that contains more than 1,000 contacts, I was reluctant to buy a new one due to the initial switching cost. Its free web back-up feature is nice and useful. Only downside I found for this product is its limited multi-language capability. I am serious. VERY highly recommended.
It is very easy to use and the card information is stored correctly. Bought this card scanner for my husband. He loves it.
